  • Page 6: Instrument Description And Identification

    INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION The FS10A is a universal flow monitor and switch specifically designed for gas and liquid process analyzer sampling systems. The FS10A is a fast responding, highly repeatable sensor which installs easily into a standard tube tee fitting or SP76 (NeSSI) modular manifold.

  • Page 7: Mounting Orientation

    FS10 Series Mounting Orientation Left to Right Flow Example in 1/4 and 3/8 inch tube tees For optimum sensitivity in low flow applications, probes should be installed with the “A” (Active) sensor positioned upstream. “A” (Active) mark Horizontal lines: gas or liquid. Upstream Vertical lines: gas - flow must be down...

    Input Power, 24 Vdc FCI recommends installing an input power disconnect and a fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during installation, maintenance, calibra- tion, alarm selection and troubleshooting procedures. Conduit should also be installed according to the local electrical codes or hazardous location requirements.

  • Page 15: Set-Up And Operation

    FS10 Series SET-UP AND OPERATION FS10 Function Overview The FS10 flow monitor may come configured for use as a flow or temperature meter. The output of the switch configuration is a SPDT relay contact or binary collector to ground [N-channel MOSFET] output (sync). A 4-20 mA output signal is also active as a signal reference. In the transmitter configu- ration, either the flow or temperature functions may be assigned to the 4-20 mA output.

  • Page 16: Fs10 Field Quick Setup Procedure

    In some cases the high liquid flow signal will saturate before reaching the high flow that is simulated, but the FS10A will save the highest value it is capable of sensing in that application and use it as the high end limit.

    Throttle flow valve to simulate zero and full scale flow. Press either button momentarily to save parameter values and exit into normal operating mode. * FS10A with Firmware version 4.0 or greater FS10 Button Controls It is recommended the unit be powered-up for 10-15 minutes before making changes to any of the flow settings.

  • Page 19: Flow Switch Operation

    FS10 Series Flow Switch Operation Units supplied without factory trip point setting should be scaled in situ before setting the trip point. Default Universal Setting A from Bank 1 is recommended for most low flow sampling gas or liquid service. Gas and liquid service applications where higher flow rate detection is required may select Universal Setting B from Bank 3.

  • Page 20: Time Delay (Function 10 Or 11)

    FS10 Series The hysteresis may be applied above the trip point or below the trip point. As an example, if set above the trip-point in an application requir- ing low flow detection, the relay will change state as the signal falls below the trip point, but will not reset until it reaches the trip-point value plus the added hysteresis value.

    Bypass the safety function and take appropriate action to avoid a false trip. Send a command through PC interface or function buttons to the FS10A to de-energize the relay or transistor or go to the high alarm current output. Verify that the relay or transistor changes state or that the analog current reaches that value.
